Ringing Multi-lined IP phones with Shared SIP accounts on Asterisk System

Hi Asterisk Experts,

I have a few Linksys SPA941 phones that have 4 lines per phone.

i want to configure (for example) 2 phones with the following:

phone 1:
line 1: ext 200
line 2: ext 300

phone 2:
line 1: ext 201
line 2: ext 300

I want line 2 on both phones to ring when someone calls ext 300.

right now, the phone that registered last on the Asterisk box is the only phone that rings.

what do i need to do?

Firstly an extension number and the SIP username the phone is configured to connect as are two independant things.

Therefore you could have :-

phone 1:
line 1: phone1line1
line 2: phone1line2

phone 2:
line 1: phone2line1
line 2: phone2line2

Note that line2 on both phones connect as a different name. The names and associated passwords are configured in sip.conf

Then in extensions.conf you would have something like :-

exten => 200,1,Dial(SIP/phone1line1,15)
exten => 201,1,Dial(SIP/phone2line1,15)
exten => 300,1,Dial(SIP/phone1line2&SIP/phone2line2,15)

Its the different syntax of the last line which causes it to ring both phones at the same time.

Hey grblades,

my current config:

example:
==========================================
User 1 = Ext. 400, SIP username: 400
User 2 = Ext. 401, SIP username: 401
User 3 = Ext. 402, SIP username: 402

Linksys SPA941 Phone 1:
Line1= 400
Line2=401

Linksys SPA941 Phone 2:
Line1= 402
Line2=401

exten => 5555551234,1,Dial(SIP/401,20)
===========================================

But from what you're saying, correct me if i'm wrong, I should something like the following:
==========================================
User 1 = Ext. 400, SIP username: 400
User 2 = Ext. 401, SIP username: 401
User 2 = Ext. 403, SIP username: 401
User 3 = Ext. 402, SIP username: 402

Linksys SPA941 Phone 1:
Line1= 400
Line2=401

Linksys SPA941 Phone 2:
Line1= 402
Line2=403

exten => 5555551234,1,Dial(SIP/401&SIP/403,20)
===========================================

correct?

if not, please suggest a better way to config.

thanks in advance.
